In Charidemum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEECCFF| YOU Charidemus who my cradle swung | A |
| And watched me all the days that I was young | A |
| You at whose step the laziest slaves awake | B |
| And both the bailiff and the butler quake | B |
| The barber's suds now blacken with my beard | C |
| And my rough kisses make the maids afeared | C |
| But with reproach your awful eyebrows twitch | D |
| And for the cane I see your fingers itch | D |
| If something daintily attired I go | E |
| Straight you exclaim Your father did not so | E |
| And fuming count the bottles on the board | C |
| As though my cellar were your private hoard | C |
| Enough at last I have done all I can | F |
| And your own mistress hails me for a man | F |
